About:
Doubledown is a command-line utility designed to synchronize local file changes to a remote directory in real-time. It monitors the filesystem for modifications and propagates updates to a specified remote location, ensuring consistency between development and remote environments. This tool simplifies the workflow for developers who need to keep remote servers or storage in sync with their local codebase.

Key Features:

Real-time filesystem monitoring and syncing
Simple command-line interface
Support for remote directory targets
Lightweight and fast execution

Use Cases:

Syncing local development files to a remote server for live testing
Maintaining a backup copy of a project directory on a remote machine
Deploying small changes to a staging environment without a full CI/CD pipeline

Alternatives:

rsync – rsync is a powerful, widely available tool for file transfers, but requires manual execution or cron jobs for continuous syncing, whereas doubledown offers built-in real-time monitoring.
lsyncd – lsyncd uses inotify and rsync to achieve real-time syncing but is more complex to configure and typically runs as a daemon, while doubledown aims for a simpler, ad-hoc usage model.
